Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Biodiversity

His scientific interests lie mostly in Ecology, Amazon rainforest, Biomass, Biodiversity and Amazonian. Tropical climate, Tropics, Liana, Species richness and Carbon cycle are the subjects of his Ecology studies. Terry L. Erwin has researched Amazon rainforest in several fields, including Rainforest, Climate change, Carbon sink and Basal area.

He has included themes like Productivity and Allometry in his Biomass study. His studies deal with areas such as Taxon, Citizen science and Environmental planning as well as Biodiversity. The concepts of his Amazonian study are interwoven with issues in Dominance and Ecosystem.

His most cited work include:

  • Drought sensitivity of the Amazon rainforest. (1175 citations)
  • Terrestrial Arthropod Assemblages: Their Use in Conservation Planning (636 citations)
  • Variation in wood density determines spatial patterns in Amazonian forest biomass (620 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary scientific interests are in Ecology, Genus, Taxonomy, Biodiversity and Amazon rainforest. Species richness, Taxon, Amazonian, Type locality and Rainforest are the core of his Ecology study. His work in Taxonomy covers topics such as Agra which are related to areas like Arboreal locomotion.

His research investigates the connection between Biodiversity and topics such as Tropics that intersect with issues in Agroforestry. His Amazon rainforest study combines topics in areas such as Biomass, Climate change, Ecosystem, Carbon sink and Liana. His Biomass research integrates issues from Tropical climate, Forestry, Physical geography and Forest ecology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Ecology (61.76%)
  • Genus (17.65%)
  • Taxonomy (16.47%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Ecology (61.76%)
  • Amazon rainforest (12.94%)
  • Ecosystem (7.06%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Terry L. Erwin mainly investigates Ecology, Amazon rainforest, Ecosystem, Biodiversity and Tropics. While working on this project, Terry L. Erwin studies both Ecology and Trait. His work deals with themes such as Dead tree, Mode and Understory, which intersect with Amazon rainforest.

His Ecosystem research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Biomass, Subtropics and Scale. His Biodiversity research incorporates elements of Agroforestry and Biome. The various areas that Terry L. Erwin examines in his Tropics study include Global warming and Productivity.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Diversity and carbon storage across the tropical forest biome (142 citations)
  • Limited tolerance by insects to high temperatures across tropical elevational gradients and the implications of global warming for extinction (114 citations)
  • Compositional response of Amazon forests to climate change (111 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Ecology
  • Genus
  • Biodiversity

His primary areas of investigation include Ecology, Climate change, Tropics, Biomass and Ecosystem. Many of his studies on Ecology apply to Species complex as well. His Tropics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Tropical climate and Biodiversity.

He interconnects Forest ecology and Biome in the investigation of issues within Biomass. His Ecosystem research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Greenhouse gas accounting, Climate change mitigation, Amazon rainforest, Physical geography and Dry season. His Amazonian study in the realm of Amazon rainforest connects with subjects such as Climate sensitivity.
